How many songs are on your nexus 4 8gb?
I have about 715 and 2 small games like 20mb each I was wondering if this is normal? I have nothing else on my phone that takes up space
Sounds about right. I still strongly believe that Nexus devices are supposed to be used with google's cloud service. Have you ever considered using google music for all your music?
None. Music belongs in the cloud.

Can you get more memory by removing apps on the nexus 7.I saw the nexus 7 8gb have only 5.9gb

I think you're better off putting all media in the cloud, and only apps on the nexus. Then figure out how to use a usb stick during the times you might need your media offline. That was my plan with another tablet anyway, but I never actually needed to use my flash drive... In over a year... Its good to know it can be made available if you do need it though. I did use over 8gb space though, so I bought 16gb nexus. I am gifting the 8gb nexus to someone who uses a kindle fire without running out of room. The device you need depends entirely on your usage and availability of wifi or data tethering.

The first 2 GBs are taken up by Android and the file system. Not much you can do.

Hmm.... I only use nexus 7 for some hd games, surfing, YouTube. All my videos, music are already on my galaxy s2. I think I can live with 8gb

Pretty much what the title says. I have a friend looking at the Nexus 4 and they want only the 8 gig, but I find that to be not enough. I have that much on my S3, but I have a 32gig SD card so I'm fine. But, without the SD card option in the N4, I don't find the 8 gig model to be worth it.
Thoughts?
No

Total space 5.67gb
Available space 2.63gb
I'm completely satisfied with the 8gb model

All depends on what your phone use is like. I play games and watch movies on my tablet and have an iPod for music. All photos get synced to dropbox and deleted from the phone so 8gb model is more than fine for me. All depends on how you use the phone.

Do not buy. I got the 16 cause my music basically fills the 8gb alone. You don't want the feeling of having to constantly monitor your usage.

They ended up with the 16gb model. I played with it a little. Wished I cld get 4.2.2. I miss it
Swiped from the S3
well that depends on USER needs....
i have the 16GB ver. and have 7GB free... ithought the 16GB won't be enough cause i had 32GB on my Sensation 4G and used 28GB BUT somehow on the nexus 16GB is more than enough for me...
so it depends.....
best regards,
baraks.
It really depends on your workflow. I wanted a 16GB but it was so hard to get when the Nexus 4 was initially released so I settled with an 8GB. And so far I have been managing. I really don't play a lot of games or store movies on my phone, I use a tablet for that because of the screen real estate and the bigger battery. I use google music to store and stream my music and I have a dropbox and Box.net account where I store pictures and whatever files I may need. after about 4 months with this phone I still have about 1.5GB free memory which I think will be enough until the Nexus 5 comes out.
Why won't it be enough? Sync everything online. All my music (90gbs of them) sync with google. I have unlimited Data so it's right there when I need it. Documents are stored on Google Drive and movies, well I'm sure the device would fit more than 5 DVDrips.
For my usage (Surfing, Music, XDA, Youtube) 16 GB are enough. I have ROMs, at least one Nandroid Backup and such stuff on it.

Hello I plan to buy a nexus 4 next week but i dont if i should buy the 8gb just to save a little money & for it to come faster or should i just buy the 16gb ?
I think you should get the 16gb if you have the money in my case I wanted to save as much as I could and got the 8gb I dont store too many songs and always backup my pics to the cloud. Still have 4 gb of free memory.

You really need to give more info on how you plan on using the device. 8GB is just enough for a decent music library, a fair number of smaller apps and possibly a large HD game or a movie.
16GB is about right for me with my music, a movie, two large games (>1GB each), a Titanium backup, a CWM backup, some photos/videos and other random downloaded files.
better to shell out the extra cash, then to find out that you should have bought the 16GB.
Buy the 16gb if you ever plane to play on the nexus or you listening to music offline.

I stream my music online so i wont need to use the storage on the nexus for music. But i also heard that 16gb takes a longer time to be delivered? is this true?
Mine came the day after I ordered it. Earlier there was much higher demand for the 16GB N4 so it took longer to deliver. Right now not many people will be buying N4s so I don't see why it would take any longer than the 8GB version to be delivered.
I've the 16Go model since February and I'm really happy with it. My previous phone had 8Go of storage and I feel it was quite short for my use. Now I haven't anymore problem of storage.
The nexus came to me in 5 days after ordering on the playstore (sunday included).

I have the 16gb, and it has 12.something available gbs, so I expect the 8gb to be at around 4-5gb of available space. Keep that in mind, it's pretty low.
5.67 gigs available to user..enough for apps but maybe not enough for music and pics..

Please search this topic has been discussed since day one. There's a fix for it...someone here in the forum. I wish I could provide you the link but I can't right now.
This happens when you have a corrupted media file and the system is constantly on to scan it.

If I'm not mistaken he already has an 8GB N4 and is looking to buy a second much smaller device with a high capacity to listen to music on. If that is the case OP, just buy one of the numerous low end galaxy phones because most (if not all) of them come with an SD slot and with Samsung you're likely to be updated to a reasonable extent.

I don't get why you would need a second Android device, why not save yourself some money and get yourself a sansa clip zip or plus 4gb($35 on Amazon)...it has an expandable sd slot, install rockbox and you've got a great mp3 player with great sound out the box at an unbeatable price. It's what I use, read up on it....I know it's not what you asked but it's another option.
